Answers :

How old is it if its still under warrenty i would take it back

If it is fairly new, does it still have warranty on it? Could be a number of things, the power cord, on/off switch or a problem with the motor.

Oreck Upright Hi Redev, I'm not sure what model I have (about 6 years old...upright, looks like the one in the picture). I changed the belt (which was torn) and then the next time I used it, it cut off on me. Now if won't turn on at all. (I turn the switch on and off and nothing happens as if it is not plugged in but it is!). I noticed at the top where the power cord enters the handle, it is all frayed. Could the electrical wires have detached? Anything you think I should check before taking it

The cord could be bad and will ahve to be replaced. It would have to have a problem inside the handle or down by the motor. ...

Dirt Devil SwivelGlide Bagged Upright Vacuum

I have a Eureka Upright vacuum (4800 Series). When I try to start it by turning the switch on, it wont. For few days, I was able to get around this problem by repeatedly turning the switch on and off until it turned on but that does not work any more. Could it be something related to the switch it self or the power cable. My wife mentioned that one of my kids might have pulled the power cable too hard (at the back of the vacuum). Any help to solve this problem will be very much appreciated. Tha

DC 17 UPRIGHT BRUSH MOTOR WONT STAY RUNNING. TURN

My Oreck vacuum cleaner will only stay on in the upright position. If I try to recline it to vacuum, it shuts off...put it back up and it turns back on. Of course I can't vacuum in the upright position...what do I do?

It sound as if you have a short in the cord or it has come loose from the motor you can take it part by removing the four screws in the buttom of the base plate to see if any of the wires are loose. ...

Oreck vacuum keeps turning off - Oreck XL2200 Bagged Upright Vacuum

When I turn on the unit and push on the level that draws the "arm" back, it immediately shuts off. I return it to the upright position and turn it on again and repeat the process. Same thing happens. Took it to an Oreck repair shop (mistake #1) and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Any ideas?

My Eureka Altima Upright Vacuum Model 2996AVS Vacuum wont turn on. Any advice where to start? I would think it may be a fuse but do not know where it is on this vacuum.

Generally, on something with a cord and plug, the first thing I suspect is a bad spot in the cord where it connects to the plug. One way to check it is to turn the vacuum on, plug the plug into a good outlet that you have checked to make sure it wor ...
Eureka Altima Upright Vacuum Model 2996AVS Vacuum

My Kirby G 2001 upright vacuum wont turn on. I tried another outlet and still nothing. I don't see a breaker switch anywhere. If you know of any common problems I would love to hear them. I am very mechanically inclined, I just was wondering if there are any common issues with the motors or power switches etc. so I don't waste a lot of time troubleshooting. Thanks

This might sound a bit silly but check to see if the cord is plugged into the machine correctly if it is check to see if the safety interlocks are all engaged. ...
